Absolutely and I wish vets wouldn't say anything even suggesting it can be transmitted, people are more afraid of this virus than any other and many cats testing positive for the cornea virus associated with it are not FIP and are killed anyway. Many diseases mimic FIP symptoms but once a

Not to worry my kitties are staying right here with me. They will be treated as they always have been with care and love. Live their time out with me. If Dukee does have FIP this will be my first time dealing with this. I knew sooner or later this would happen I have been very fortunate

Dear Terrie: Michelle is right regarding that there is no definite test for FIP. The test that majority of the vets recommend is a test for Corona viruses. The vets think there is over 250 different types of Corona viruses in the world and maybe more then that have not be discovered. Most cats

Terrie, Please contact Hideyo about the treatment with Feline Interferon that she has been doing with Dharma. As you know, it's very hard to truly diagnose FIP, (omg, I'm so sorry to hear of the possibility in your household), but she suspected Dharma had it and quickly put her on a protocol
